Hi Carol and all, I think we can do it both ways. How about if I collect all the posts from Alvin and Uwe and post the entire game with comments in line once the game is over. We may even get someone like Rod to annotate the game. Then those of you wanting to follow along in real time like Anna can continue to do so. Those of you that want to see the whole game can simply wait for the entire collection. Some may want to do both as there is a different flavor to following the action as it happens as opposed to reviewing the game after it is done. How does that sound? remember, we are still feeling our way here, so all ideas are welcome. If new ideas work, that is great. If they don't, we simply will try a different way next time. Please keep the ideas coming, there are really no bad ideas.

The game between Alvin and Uwe is great! However, it's difficult to follow the game because I don't have an extra board. If they play the game privately, annotate their comments after each move, then when the game is over, post it on the list. I think it is an excellent teaching tool for all of us to learn what the player's reason for making such move. One could go through the entire game on a board at their leisure. In addition, have a third party (possibly an experienced chess player), who could discuss and comment on the moves in the game. I remembered that Rod said he could evaluate and give his comments. I think it is a good idea, but put the whole game up on the list at one time. Then the evaluator could discuss the game in three sections, the opening game, the middle game, and the end game. These are my thoughts and hopefully it will help to make Blind Chess list a great place for everyone to enjoy. Carol
